Additionally, the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) has published a number of reports on the Body of Knowledge that will berequired (in the immediate future) to practice civil engineering1, 2. One key conclusion ofthe work by ASCE (relating to the ASCE policy 465) is that the engineer of the futurewill need formal education beyond the Bachelor’s degree. NCEES in essence agreed withthis position when they incorporated this requirement into their model law for licensure,which will go into effect in 20155.A related document by NAE discusses the challenge of teaching the engineer of 20204.Other reports have raised concerns about science and technology education in the UnitedStates in general.
